is a non profit US based organization,
exempt from Federal income tax under section 501 (c) 3 of the Internal
Revenue Code. Contributions to us are deductible under section 170 of
the Code. REXANO is also a domestic non
profit corporation incorporated in the state of Nevada.

REXANO is committed to protect the rights of animal owners. WE support responsible private ownership of exotic animals in any
form, be it non commercial pet or sanctuary, as well as commercial
breeder or exhibitor.

As long as animal welfare and public safety laws are being followed, the
private (non governmental) ownership of these animals should be legal
and protected in the USA.

Many states, counties/cities already have regulations, some fair some
not so. Too many already have exotic animal bans.

We want to assist in securing fair industry standards and to prevent more unfair and unnecessary bans
and regulations to happen again by providing you with tools, research
and statistics to disprove the claims perpetuated by extreme animal
rights, AR, groups in the media of these animals as being a public
safety issue.

While we support reasonable industry regulations protecting animal welfare and
human safety (just as double gate and perimeter fence law for big
carnivores), we strongly oppose outright bans or extreme regulations
requirements or no grandfathering clause.

However, from the standpoint of government regulations, exotic animals
should be treated the same as the rest of agriculture or other pet
animals:
If the government mandates what kind of fencing you have to use for
exotic animals, then they should mandate what kind of fencing to use for
agriculture or pet animals and have same laws available for all animals
at large, regardless of species.

We are currently working to reverse the trend in over regulation, with
the desire that in the near future to work on repealing excessive
regulations and bans on private ownership of exotics.
